Trainings

All new cadets enter the program at the rate of Seaman Recruit. Recruits must first complete two weeks of summer recruit training ("boot
camp") at Navy and Coast Guard recruit training commands and selected
locations throughout the country. The boot camp curriculum includes
naval history, customs, traditions, seamanship and navigation.

Once cadets have completed boot camp, they may take full advantage
of Naval Sea Cadet opportunities during succeeding summers, including
advanced two-week training periods aboard Navy and Coast Guard vessels from small harbor craft to large nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Sea Cadet Trainings

In order for cadets to move up through the ranks they must complete
the following: the NRTC Correspondence Course for that rate, one
training evolution, and depending on the rate, the Navy's Military
Leadership exam for that rate. NRTC's cover basic military and
naval subjects such as naval history, seamanship, leadership,
and ship/aircraft familiarization. The cadet rate structure parallels
that of the Navy and Coast Guard's enlisted rate structure, with
Chief Petty Officer being the highest rate a cadet can achieve.

Training takes place mostly during summer months and occasionally
during winter and spring break periods and are generally one to
two week evolutions. The first training evolution for all cadets
is NSCC Recruit Training, better known as boot camp. It is a scaled
down version of the Navy's boot camp. For approximately two-weeks
cadets are instructed by active and reserve military personnel
and Sea Cadet officers in military drill and discipline, physical
fitness, seamanship, shipboard safety, first aid, naval history,
and leadership.

After cadets have successfully completed boot camp, they can then
participate in advanced training. Sea Cadet advanced training
currently consists of the following:

League Cadet Trainings

Navy
League cadets are trained in nautical skills such as knot tying
and splicing, signaling, water safety and swimming, first aid,
and even fire fighting. Cadets are instructed in military drill
and discipline and are taught from a syllabus covering naval history
to ship nomenclature. Navy League cadets also tour ships and bases
and participate in community events such as parades and fairs.

In addition,
cadets have the opportunity to participate in weekend long competitions
and one week long summer training held on Navy and Coast Guard
bases. Week long summer training is comprised of NLCC Cadet Orientation
or "mini boot camp" for new cadets, and advanced training
for senior cadets.

NLCC boot
camp provides intense training in military and naval subjects
and an introduction to the military atmosphere. NLCC advanced
training provides senior cadets with training in leadership, boat
safety, and subjects relevant to prepare cadets for the Sea Cadets.

Taking
part in the pride and honor of wearing the Navy uniform, and being
a part of a fine organization gives the NLCC cadet a sense of service.
In addition, NLCC cadets who complete one year in the program,
and later enter the Sea Cadets, will enter at a higher rate. The
training received in the NLCC will give cadets the experience
for an easy transition to the Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
